Photoshop Elements

My Adobe Photoshop Elements has suddenly developed an issue in which any change to my preferences causes some kind of corruption that blocks me from using Quick Mode to edit files. If I delete the Preferences file, I can use Quick Mode > Color > Saturation / Hue / Vibrance to apply adjustments. As soon as I change a setting, I lose the ability to click on the adjustment selection to apply the adjustment.

When I attempt to open it, it seems to be starting but comes up to the loading bar across the opening screen, the icon within the loading bar spins for a couple of minutes and then just quits on the opening screen. This only started within the last week (June 15). I'm on Windows 11 Pro, latest upgrade as of June 9th.I uninstalled and then reinstalled this morning with no change, still same refusal to load.

I have two computers. Both have Photoshop Elements 2025 installed. If I try to print from either of the computers Elements closes.My old version of Photoshop (CS6) has no problem printing. I also have the latest version of Affinity and again I have no problem printing from it. I have tried all the fixes suggested by contributors to the Adobe and other forums without success.  My computers run Windows 11 pro. The printer is a humble Canon G650 Pixma. Can any of you bright people suggest a solution? Thank you.John 

Hi everyone,I create social media graphics in Photoshop Elements and often run into spacing issues with text layers. The built-in kerning and tracking controls are finicky, and sometimes I need to push text elements apart without adding visible characters.I also want to create "invisible" text layers as placeholders or spacers in my templates, but PSE doesn't seem to accept pure blank spaces as valid text input.Is there a free online tool that generates invisible/blank Unicode characters I can copy and paste directly into Photoshop Elements text boxes? Something browser-based with no downloads would be ideal.Bonus if the same site has other text formatting tools too.Thanks!

Cant open my adobe element 2024

I have been trying for weeks and each time I get an error I follow the instructions of AI eg REpair and Optimize Catalog, thumb.5.cache problem etc. Now I need an expert to help me simply backup my catalog

I currently have Photoshop Elements 2022 and using a Sony A7IV camera.  I have camera raw version 17.2 which works perfectly with it.  I am considering updating my camera to either the Sony A7V or the the newer A7RVI and wondering if I will still be able to update to a newer version with Camera Raw 18.3.2 installer or newer one once they update the latest A7RVI.  My current camera raw works perfectly and hate the idea learning a new system and having to go to a new more expensive program. 

Ich nutze Photoshop Elements 2026. Seit ein paar Tagen stürzt der Organizer immer ca. 10 Sekunden nach dem Start ab. Ich habe bis jetzt alles versucht:1) Alle Fotos, Meta-Daten gelöscht, Backup wiederhergestellt. Hat nichts gebracht.2) Alle Adobe Programme deinstalliert, Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool eingesetzt und alles gecleant, Photoshop Elements neu installiert. Hat auch nichts gebracht.Für Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar. 

I go to ‘Help” , <install Camera Raw> and follow the directions. When I go to use it (opening a .dng file) it keeps telling me to “install the Camera Raw plugin from the help menu.” I’ve tried multiple times with no results.Using Windows 11 with all current updates and plenty of disk space. Allen

I have a newer MacBook Air and it runs Tahoe 2.6.5.1,I purchased Elements on the 3 year terms. I tried to edit a RAW image from a Nikon Z 8. Elements popped up a message to install CameraRaw from there help menu. Upon doing that it does not install and freezes up the Elements 2026 program. I must do a force quit each time I try. I have tried 3 times.

Ich möchte meine 2024 Version auf einen neuen PC umziehen.Ich habe mich deshalb auf dem alten PC abgemeldet und laut Anleitung aufhttps://account.adobe.com/products die Seriennummer eingegeben, um die Version von 2024 zu downloaden und zu installieren.Es erscheint aber die Fehlermeldung “Diese Seriennummer wird bereits verwendet.”Kennt jemand das Problem und kann mir helfen?Vielen Dank! 

Hello. I have a picture that I want to use for an application's icon, and I was hoping that I could create the icon in PhotoShop Elements 6. I do not see any way to do this, however. That file-type option is not available in either "Save As" or "Export." Does anyone know how to do this? I did a Google search and saw where I would need to download a plug-in. If this is true, can anyone recommend a good plug-in? (I'm a little paranoid about what I download on my computer). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not a self employed photographer and I’m not interested in replacing my 8 bit camera with a fancier one at the moment.  However it might be fun to see ACR in action with 12-14 bit images.  I already have ACR (v14.4) but can anyone recommend a reputable site that offers clean DNG downloads?    

I updated my IOS on MacBook and Photoshop Elements stopped working. I re installed from my account and used the serial number which told me it was revoked. I would like a new serial number 

I have just downloaded and installed the Camera Raw plugin for Photoshop Elements 26 but how do I know it is working? Or is it already included in the app? There doesn't seem to be a reference to it in Elements so I had a look in my apps folder but cannot see it. Basically I just need to validate it's there and working ok. I am on Mac OS.

Using a canvas (1920x1060) to create a collage with six (6) images, PSE 2026 constantly crashes. This never happened with any of the older version of PSE and I’ve using PSE for over 15 years. This is the worse version of PSE I’ve ever used it seem with all this AI stuff added the program is less responsive and freezes a lot. Available RAM: 24960, Ideal Range: 13728-17971, PSE Using 20966. I can be contacted at - (personal information removed by moderator)

On Elements 2026, how can I disable "Constrain Properties. When I add a signature layer, it wants to keep the same proportions! I want to adjust the height and width myself. It wasn’t an issue with the 2013 edition!

Please help.

​@Jirkaf I have deleted your post because you have included your serial number.  This is a user-to-user forum open to the public.   

I am well past OS X but the application will not open. Any help? 

I received a very official looking email msg from mail@e.adobe.com to remind me that Adobe Photoshop Elements is still in my cart.  It has an “Explore Your Cart” button and a “Learn More” button which I knew better than to press; so neither button was pressed.  There is no cart with anything in it.  Should I report this or send it to my spam folder.

Just trying to work on an image in Elements ‘24 like usual, only to find the Hand Tool no longer appears when I press space.  I can bring it up when I press H, but I’m way too used to using the space bar to want to adjust my instincts.  Any suggestions?

Import of photos and videos to Organizer has worked ok. However, yesterday  the import fails – for some photos. (At least the thumbnail of the photo is missing. The files that fail are visible in preview when selecting files to import. Is there a file size issue here? The missing files seems to be 10+ mb.(I am using Elements Organizer 26.0.0.0 running on Windows 11) 

Guten Tag, Ich hatte vor zwei Wochen auf meinem Notebook eine Bitlock Sperre und musste mühsam diesen 48 stelligen Code suchen. Dazu musste ich eine IT-Firma in Schaffhausen aufsuchen, welcher den Harddisk von meinem Notebook entfernte und glücklicherweise meine Daten retten konnte. Der Harddisk startete selbst nicht mehr auf. Somit habe ich Adobe Photoshop 9 auf meinem Home Notebook installiert, damit ich weiter arbeiten konnte. Diese Installation habe ich anschliessend deinstalliert und auf dem Noteboook mit neuem Harddisk wieder installiert. Leider meldet nun Adobe, dass ich bereits eine Lizenz installiert hätte und deshalb ich eine neue Lizenznummer brauchen würde. Ich habe diese Anweisung von Adobe Schweiz von Herr Robin heute erhalten. Ich möchte keine neue Adobe Photoshop Elements Version kaufen, da ich mich in die Version 9 sehr gut eingearbeitet habe und ich diese Lizenz auch gekauft habe. Eine Bestätigung , dass dieser Vorfall passiert ist kann von der IT-Firma und von meiner

Sobald ich das entfernen Werkzeug nutze, und mit der Maus den Pinsel vergrößern oder verkleinern will, stürzt Elements ab.Hat noch jemand diesen Fehler?
